2 and 3 are correct.
The powers and status of the State Legislative council are broadly equal to that of the State Legislative assembly, except in some cases.

Similar to passing of a law, ordinances also need to be approved by both houses.
Only the assembly participates in the election of the Rajya Sabha MPs based on proportional representation system (single transferrable votes). Money bill can be introduced only in legislative assembly.Incorrect
